First graders created paper weavings using an over under pattern. We discussed how much of the clothing we wear is woven. The students got to see two types of looms and learned vocabulary words such as loom, warp, and weft. Once their weavings were finished the students used cut paper shapesto create interesting details on top.

During the month of January, artwork from Barrows Elementary will be on exhibit in the conference room at the superintendent's office. The school committee meeting on January 10th will be broadcast on RCTV--tune in for a chance to see the student artwork!

Welcome to Art with Mrs. Hurley! Thank you for stopping by to see the great art being created by the Barrows Elementary students. Artwork will be displayed on a continual basis, so please stop by again to see what the students are creating!
